Cognizant of revisionist historians' reproach of Turner's philosophy set forth in his seminal 1893 essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," as promoting an exploitationist myth of the West, Bogue (history, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) weighs this eminent historian's legacy in the context of his biography.
